Hi Jerin,
In this way, we still have to modify two files each time a new feature
is added but not verified on ARM architectures.
Since disabling those drivers and libs are common for both armv7 and
armv8, can you put them in one config file, for example: common_arm?
It is not like common_arm64, which is solely for armv8 platform.
Actually, the arm64 common config is defconfig_arm64-armv8a-linuxapp-gcc
you can include it in the thunderx or xgene1 config files respectively,
and overriding some special config if needed.
On the other hand, If we support the features in the future by
replacing SSE intrinsic with NEON, we just need to remove the lines in one
place.
Regards,
Jianbo
